Boston Alan and Boston, Mass.

Hello Friends and Fam!  I have lots of pics to post.  I have some fun new pics of Boston and pics from Blake and my trip to Boston.  It was my first time there and we had a great trip.  Hope everyone is having a great start to Spring.  It's gettin' hot hot hot out there...

Boston and me acting silly!

 Drummer Boy!

 Bo loves the swimming pool.  This was the best shot I got at the pool :)

 Being silly again with Ma Ma's hat on!

 Boston Trip - 1st Stop the North End for lobster and Italian food

 Getting ready bright and early for the duck tour.

 Red Sox Game

 Paul, Peter, Blake and me at the game.  We froze our butts off!

 Blake and Popsi - notice the sweet sports coat

Jayne and me - we had a blast!  We saw many more of Blake's friends while we were there.  I just wasn't good with my camera the whole time.  We also took the train out to Franklin, where Blake went to highschool.  We saw the Pasquantonio's and some of Blake's girlfriends from High School.  It was a great trip! 

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to everyone! He has Risen!! He has Risen Indeed!

We spent Easter in Dallas with Blake's family and had a great time (minus some weird stomach bug I got).  I have a bunch of pictures to share of Boston.  He had an Easter Egg Hunt at his daycare on Thursday and then I got a few more of him at Jo Jo and Norby's house.  I wasn't a great picture taker over the weekend since I wasn't feeling well, so this is one of those time where there are no pics of the adults...just Bo Bo :)

Here's a few from the daycare Easter Egg Hunt!  Boston got the hang of it pretty quick!

Here's the Easter Egg hunt in the front yard at Jo Jo and Norby's. 

Charlsie and Bo!  She must have taught him how to put your basket on your head :)

 Silly goose!

 I was trying to replicate an Easter picture from last year and realized the one I was thinking of was taken with this chick in September.  Either way, it is super cute, so you can see these back to back.

Easter 2011

And here is Boston's official 1st Easter pic.  Look how itty bitty he is. 

 

And here's a few more cute ones of us playing in the backyard.

 Gone Swimmin'

Boston got all muddy and decided to go searching for Easter Eggs one more time. 

And the tired puppy cuddled up one more time with his Easter chick.  This means it's bedtime!  Night, Night y'all!  Hope every had an egg-cellent day!

Busy Boy

Here's a little video of Boston running around the living room!  He's so busy all the time!

New Deck

I'm so happy!  Our new deck is all done!  We almost doubled it in size and also got new patio furniture.  I'll show you the progression of the build :)  The Bern's came in town to enjoy the new deck this past weekend and helped us put together all the new patio furniture...yay! 

Oh and one more thing.  Is anyone out there?  If anyone out there in this world of bloggy land is reading my posts...please feel free to leave a comment.  Lately, I feel like I could quite possibly just be writing into thin air :) Even you, Mom and Jo Jo... 

Here's a before pic I found, so you can see what the deck looked like before we started the job!

 Day 1 - you can see the darker wood in the frame is where the old deck was.

 Day 2 - movin' fast!

 Day 3 - Deck is done!  We extended it out and also had some bench seating built.  Now we need to have deck warming party :) 

 I will post a better AFTER pic when I get one.  I took this one tonight to show my parents and the lighting was not too great and it is raining pollen around here.  It's so gross and everything is bright yellow.  So, the brand new deck is already all nasty from it.  Can you see the little toot in this pic?

 Jo Jo and Bo Bo

 Jessica and me.  The Burkharts came over to hang out for a bit!

 And here's a few cute pics of the little man!  He has a hand fixation lately.  He will find one toy and hold on to it for hours.  In these pics he is obsessed with a bottle of bubbles :)
